Sima Yi's will, children and grandchildren, don't sweep my grave!After 1700, the truth about the old traitor was revealed
Sima Yi knew that he would not live long, he remembered that the Cao family had beheaded more than 5,000 levels, and before he died, he left two extremely wise wills to his children and grandchildren: The descendants of the Sima family are not allowed to enter the mausoleum to govern the country!
In the turbulent Three Kingdoms era, there was a strategist who was wise and powerful like a god - Sima Yi. In his later years, he faced a brutal history and left two wills, leaving posterity a well-thought-out polity and a strong state.
Sima Yi, who was in his old age, sat quietly on Shouyang Mountain, looking back on his life in the clouds and mist. The past is vivid in his memory. With his wisdom and strategy, he assisted three generations of monarchs, but he also fell into a bloody storm.
Cao Dewang felt very heavy when he thought of the blood under his home. Under his command, more than a thousand people died, and the years were stained red with blood.
At that time, Sima Yi launched a rebellion in Gaopingling, brutally killing three generations of Cao Shuang's family and Cao Shuang's cronies, as many as 5,000 innocent adults and innocent children.
This rebellion shook the entire dynasty and marked a major change in the political power of the Wei state. It is said that this rebellion was the result of Sima Yi's dissatisfaction with Cao Shuang's power tricks and his concern about the future direction of the Wei state.
In this bloody coup, many members of the Cao family, young and old, became inevitable victims. This history describes the tragic fate of innocent children and innocent women, whose tragic deaths have caused widespread indignation and mourning.
Sima Yi struggled to hold the hands of his children and grandchildren before he died. After his death, he asked to be buried in an ordinary tomb on Shouyang Mountain, without erecting a monument or planting trees. He asked to be buried in an ordinary tomb on Shouyang Mountain, without erecting a monument or planting trees. It is forbidden to wear fancy clothes and bring any funeral goods.
On the Qingming Festival or holidays, no one is allowed to worship. He warned future generations that even his wives and concubines could not be buried together after death, and that they must be buried elsewhere.
The reason why Sima Yi stipulated in his will that his descendants were not allowed to visit the tomb was first of all out of a high concern for power. He knew that it was not easy to stabilize the regime, and the history of the fall of Cao Wei's regime awakened his concern for the fate of his family.
When Cao Shuang withdrew the last line of defense to worship the last emperor, it was Sima Yi's opportunity to seize power. Withdrawing from the last line of defense opened Sima Yi's eyes to the possibility of seizing power. This successful rebellion made him acutely aware of the fragility of the regime and made him worry about the victims in the mausoleums of his descendants.
Sima Yi never forgot the reasons for the fall of Cao Wei's regime, and he also knew the importance of maintaining his family's position in the political situation. He stipulated that he should not sweep the tombs of his children and grandchildren, not only to prevent his children and grandchildren from sweeping the tombs, but also to remind his children and grandchildren that he did not want the Sima family to repeat the mistakes of the past in the power and political struggles, and did not want the glory of the family to eventually turn to ashes.
The second reason is actually more of a fear in my heart, the fear that my grave will be dug up for revenge. The crimes he committed during his lifetime are countless, and after his death there may be people who want to find his grave to take revenge on him, or there may be people who do not want to find his grave to take revenge on him. Until the people of the Sima family come to worship him, the tomb will become mysterious and difficult to find.
He was once a giant of power, ruling the entire country with power and intrigue. But he left behind countless dusts, countless people denounced his ruthlessness and greed, and his atrocities were also passed on by word of mouth. Therefore, his death is an opportunity for justice for the victims.
The tomb is surrounded by pines and cypresses, as if it were a kind of guardianship. From a distance, the cemetery looks solemn, but it inadvertently creates an oppressive atmosphere. The ground in front of the tomb was overgrown with weeds, and the wind blew through the grass, making a slight rustling sound.
He left behind countless grievances and strife, so much so that after his death, people were full of curiosity and even anger at his grave. If it weren't for the fact that several Sima families came to worship, no one would know where his cemetery was.
Because of this, the cemetery seems to have an untouchable mystery. Its location seems to have become a kind of tranquil refuge, hidden deep and far from the distractions of the world.
There was an unspeakable fear in his heart, a potential revenge for his sinful deeds. The tomb seems to be shrouded in a layer of darkness, hinting at a possible threat to the future. This fear has made his grave an untold, forgotten corner of the world.
After careful consideration, Sima Yi left a serious and wise second will. He recalled his mental journey of assisting Cao Wei and giving advice to Great Wei, while firmly grasping the center of power.
His willingness to do so demonstrates his outstanding political skills and commitment to the stability and unity of the country.
With the passage of time, Sima Yi's last words have been passed down from generation to generation in history. But with the passage of time and the fading of memories, people forgot that cruel history, and Sima Yi's last words were gradually forgotten.
Today, 1700 years later, the memory of Sima Yi is no longer clear, but his legacy is still admirable, in an ordinary tomb in the mountains of Shouyang, lies a witness to the historical era, a prophet who left wisdom and profound thoughts.
